The blurb:

It wasn’t easy. First they had to bomb a museum, blow a jail, blitz a police station and break a bank. Then they had to heist THE HOT ROCK. And the pay-off? Well, that’s where it REALLY got difficult

‘Great fun’ Evening Standard ‘Marvellously entertaining’ Irish Press ‘Comes close to the ultimate in comic, big-caper novels’ New York Times

***** I just realized I’ve got both The Hot Rock and the Finnish translation Kuuma kivi. This one’s free to go, especially since it happens to be on someone’s wishlist. myntti won a surprise in Hyvän mielen arvonta in September. I hope she’ll enjoy Dortmunder and his gang.
